The property was originally build in 1890, upon buying this property we kept the original structure and transformed minimal areas such has added on closet and electrical updating, insulation and plumbing, other then these minimal updating requirements, the house was kept in it's original condition, original woodwork etc.
It makes this house a unique place to be and to call home even if it's just for a short stay. :)
